A Cecil County Farmer Who
Couldn't Be Gyppct.

There is a class Of men who loaf around
the liveries and bar rooms of the cities
that make a business of defrauiiug c0un-
trymen in various ways There is, now
ever, one Cecil farmer who cannot be
fooled by them as the following commu-
nication from E4rlville shows:
Last fall when | was in Philadelphia |
dropped into the Bazaar on SAMSON street
as is my custom when have spare time
in the city to see all kinds of horsciIesh
sold. On this day as soon as | entered
was approached by seedy looking indi-
viiual with threadbare clothes. He said
"you are farmer" answered that |
was. He asked if | would take two
horses to board Upon inquiry he said
he would pay $50 per month for each.
He told me that there was "a doctor near
that had two horses lame. He asked me
to see them and | went. He pecped into
a doctors Office and said the physician
was not at home and must be at the
stable. We went there and found flat
uosed individual who said the doctor was
not there but was soon expected. In one
of the stalls was lame mare. In about
two minutes man came in dressed in
gray. He said have come to buy the
mare as | want to make up my drove.
The man with she fiat nose said, 81 will
not sell her to you. You had her out
last night and you famed her and broke
my wagon sending it home with black
man. You cannot buy her at any price. -
The drover said | will give you $50 dol
lars. The flat-nosed man again said |
will not sell to you. The would be pur-
chaser then held out his money to nc
to buy the mare for him. said no, |
will not have anything to do with the
matter as believed they were sharpers
and made quick time away.

Three Wise Parasraphs.

There is no American boy, however hum.
BILE, orphan though he may be, that, if he
have q clear head, true heart, q strong
arm, may not rise through all the grades Of
society, and become the crown, the glory
the pillar Of hi, state.
Poverty is uncomfortable, as can testi-
fy; but nine times out Of ten the best thing
that can happen to young man is to be
tossed and compelled to sink or swim for
himself. In all my aquaintance I never
knew man to be drowned who was worth
the saving.
To young man who has in him the mag.
ni6cent possibilities Of life, it is not fitting
that he should be permanently commanded;
he should be a commander. You must not
continue to be the employed. You must be
an employer You must be promoted from
the ranks to command. There is some.
thing, young man, which you can command
go and find it, and commsnd it. Do not
beseech you, be content to enter upon any
business which does not require and compel
enstant intellectual growth.
